Bayonets

Authentic US Civil War era bayonet manufactured by Remington, but not marked by them, for the Remington contract rifled musket of 1862. Cast brass grip and muzzle ring. Steel blade in very good condition. Comes with original brass mounted leather scabbard missing frog stud. The leather is sound but stitching coming apart slightly as shown in photo.

The M3 American combat knife was developed in 1943, the handle is stacked leather. The 6 5/8 inch blade is double-edged, stiletto type, and the scabbard is leather. This example has no markings anywhere, but the ricasso has been shortened on one side sometime in the past and the maker possibly ground off. There has also been a lanyard ring added to the top of the pommel which some sources say may have been intended for CB (Construction Battalion) issue but we cannot verify that. The scabbard is correct for this knife but is missing the button fasteners and strap that secure the knife.

Utica was the first maker of the Post WWII Combat Knife. It is called the Mark 2, officially KNIFE, COMBAT, MARK 2. Manufacture started in January 1960 and the shape of the crossguard and colour changed in 1962 dating this example between 1960 and April 1962. Post War markings show US over the UTICA name and no USMC or USN markings. The WWII markings on original knives showed USMC or USN and makers were Ka-Bar, Camillus, Robeson and PAL. Original leather 9 rivet scabbard is correct for this early model Utica Mark 2. This example is well used, blade is sharp and shows wear from use. Scabbard is complete and in very good condition.

The V42 was only made in small numbers for the elite First Special Service Force and is extremely rare. Numerous reproductions were made to celebrate this style of knife. This is a 1992 reproduction by well known US knife maker Case knives of Bradford, Pennsylvania. The handle is leather with aluminum spacers producing a smooth handle. It has black plastic spacers at the guard and pommel and does not have the leather backer at the crossguard. It is stamped U.S. 1992 on the reverse ricasso. Knife only, no scabbard. Excellent condition and recognized by collectors as a high quality V42 reproduction, not the cheap junk available on ebay.
